This topic is about dealing with skin irritation that occurs under an Eakin Seal, which is a common concern for those using ostomy appliances. The person experiencing this issue is seeking advice on soothing and healing options, particularly after being recommended a diaper-rash cream with zinc oxide. Here are some helpful suggestions and insights shared by others:

1. Consider using "puddie" or paste products, such as stoma paste, directly on the barrier after showering. This can help create a tight seal that prevents output from coming into contact with the skin.

2. Reach out to Hollister customer support. Many people have found them to be very responsive and helpful in providing personalized troubleshooting advice for skin or product issues.

3. When dealing with irritated skin, try applying barrier rings from any brand:
- Place the barrier ring on the adhesive side of the pouch, smoothing it around the stoma opening.
- Use no-sting barrier wipes on the irritated skin before applying the appliance. These wipes leave a protective film on the skin.
- Allow the barrier ring to "melt" and bond to the skin. Many users report feeling relief by the time they change their pouch again.

4. Continue considering the use of high-zinc diaper-rash creams like Zincofax, which contains 40% zinc oxide. However, make sure that the cream is compatible with your specific barrier system to avoid any issues with adhesion.
